• We are going through a rolling upgrade of the systems, and the software is quite a bit newer on the new ones, so double-check what machine you're on.

Which machines are in the pool now?

You can get the list of servers participating in a given load-balanced pool with:

   dig +short +noedns -t txt <pool>.best.stanford.edu @lbdns1.stanford.edu

E.g.

[chekh@luckdragon.stanford.edu] ~ [0] 
$ date; dig +short +noedns -t txt corn.best.stanford.edu @lbdns1.stanford.edu

" 162990/1.000  corn02.stanford.edu"
" 163740/1.000  corn05.stanford.edu"
" 165060/1.000  corn07.stanford.edu"
" 167340/1.000  corn19.stanford.edu"
" 168930/1.000  corn11.stanford.edu"
" 169050/1.000  corn28.stanford.edu"
" 169650/1.000  corn15.stanford.edu"
" 175680/1.000  corn25.stanford.edu"
" 178110/1.000  corn27.stanford.edu"
" 178410/1.000  corn12.stanford.edu"
" 178500/1.000  corn24.stanford.edu"
" 184470/1.000  corn10.stanford.edu"
" 192240/1.000  corn06.stanford.edu"
" 192390/1.000  corn13.stanford.edu"
" 195540/1.000  corn09.stanford.edu"
" 195930/1.000  corn04.stanford.edu"
" 206370/1.000  corn20.stanford.edu"
" 211110/1.000  corn21.stanford.edu"
" 265710/1.000  corn26.stanford.edu"
" 269910/1.000  corn18.stanford.edu"

You can do the same with 'cardinal', but not with 'barley', since you can't log in to barley directly.

If the above dig command doesn't produce any output, you can leave off the last argument. e.g.

 dig -t txt corn.best.stanford.edu
